Strive to Be

I’ve seen the photographs; I’ve seen the women on my screens
It’s heavy on my mind why they seem happier than me
And I’ve been running ’round
Chasing down who I think I should be
Who I should be

It keeps me up at night
These expectations always seem
Too heavy, how can I
Find truth when it’s so hard to see?
Cause it’s like trying to find
A drop inside an ocean far too deep
Hmm

But then I hear you
When I feel alone
Your voice can heal me
Save me from myself
You take my weight
And carry it away

I tune the noises out
And in the silence I can see
You love me more than life
And your love is all the hope I need
The proof is in the stars
And in the scars you took for all of me

Sometimes I hear you
When I feel alone
Your voice can heal me
Save me from myself
I know who I am
No matter where I go

And I remember
I'm beloved, I'm divine
Divine in nature
And I'm perfectly designed
When I don’t feel wanted
You call me beloved

My scars don’t make me who I am
Oh, they just tell my story
The imperfections fade away
And you help me see the beauty
My scars don’t make me who I am
Oh, they just tell my story
The imperfections fade away
Fade away

And I remember
I'm beloved, I'm divine
Divine in nature
And I'm perfectly designed
When I don’t feel wanted
You call me beloved
